"Sly's Most Underrated Film" Turns 29

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/08/16

Released August 15, 1997, CopLand marks Sylvester Stallone's return to 70s-era acting. While the film is a boxoffice success, the critical reaction is muted at best. Sly is solid, DeNiro makes the most of limited screen time, and the late Ray Liotta delivers a signature performance as coked-out cop Gary Figgis, whose moral center compels him to have the back of Sly's Sheriff Freddy Heflin, no matter the cost.

2026/08/01

The ongoing debate over the casting of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey reminds me of two notorious (yet historically important) films: D.W. Griffith's silent epic The Birth of a Nation, and the inexplicable casting of John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror (1956).
